Kevin Spacey gets waiter fired, or so the waiter says

3 November 2009 70 views No Comment

Waiter Peter Turner claims he was fired from his job after he was instructed by his boss to tell that he had to stop smoking because it was a violation of state law.

According to RadarOnline, Turner approached the group with the request, and the actor allegedly went ballistic, screaming, “You’re an aggressive prick.” Three days later, Turner was “laid off.”

The incident allegedly occurred back in June at Clarke Cooke House in Newport, Rhode Island. Turner said he initially made a joke to the smokers, saying: “You’re not allowed to smoke in here unless you’re on fire.”

But the Oscar-winning actor wasn’t amused and allegedly exploded in anger. “I need you to get the f*** away from my table,” Spacey said.

Turner told his boss about the incident and was told “If the owner knew you pissed off , he’d have me fire you.”

Three days later, Turner was “laid-off” from his job, but a replacement was hired for his position. The lay off has been a huge financial strain for Turner, who is working part-time as a caterer. “I was banking on making somewhere between $12,000 and $18,000. That’s basically what I am out because someone thought that they were more privileged than anyone else,” he said.
